Chapter Eighty-Seven: Green Shirts and White Clothes

Ding Cong and Lao Li searched in the mountains for three days, but still did not find any trace of the ghost, which made Lao Li very unhappy, and kept complaining about Ding Cong: "If you don't believe the ghost you perceive, who wants to accompany you to look for ghosts in this barren mountain......?"

Ding Cong didn't refute, just concentrated on probing, and only said lightly when he couldn't listen to it: "If you don't want to go back together, and throw the barbecue in your hand to me first, I didn't let you come to BBQ." If you hadn't been eating wild game for the past three days, why wouldn't you have searched this mountain range until now? ”

Lao Li casually threw down the greasy barbecue in his hand, licked the fat on his hand, and said without shame: "Don't you have a formation around the entire mountain range? That guy is just hiding deeper, and you will definitely find it if you look for it slowly." ”

"Hmph, that's a formation, not an enchantment. Ding Cong looked at Lao Li with disdain and said, "If there is an enchantment, I won't be so anxious." You also know that that thing is not shallow, and the sooner you find it, the sooner you can rest assured. ”

Lao Li shrugged his shoulders and agreed, and the two began to investigate again.

It was another ten days, and the two of them had already turned over the entire mountain range, but they didn't find any trace of the charm. During this period, Lao Li went back to see Jiang Shinian, and after making sure that he was well, he opened the enchantment and asked them to return to the tribe first.

In the blink of an eye, more than three months later, with Ding Cong's unremitting efforts, he finally found the clues of the charm. This guy is really cunning, he really returned to the broken cave, and when Ding Cong and Lao Li were surrounded, he repeated his old tricks and gave Lao Li a beautiful man plan again. Lao Li cut off one of Mei's arms in anger, but it also found a new way to survive with a broken tail, and under the siege of the two, he actually conjured up thousands of doppelgangers and fled in all directions.

This really Lao Li off, and he felt that he was a master of refining the peak of the void, but he was actually teased again and again by a charm, and he really couldn't hang his face. was originally forced by Ding Cong to pursue, but now it is the opposite, constantly forcing Ding Cong to increase the scope of search.

In this way, the two of them played a game of peek-a-boo in the mountains for almost a year. In the end, Ding Cong finally found a way to accurately track him, and Mei really had nowhere to hide, so he had to run out of the formation and flee in the northwest direction.

At this time, Lao Li's anger also disappeared, so he was ready to put it away, but he didn't expect Ding Cong to be interested again, and he must chase it to see. Lao Li had no choice but to follow Ding Cong all the way from the Central Plains to the Northwest Gobi. It wasn't until he entered the hinterland of the Gobi that the trace of the charm suddenly disappeared, and Ding Cong also knew that he had finally found the right master.

"Why do you have to chase it here? Aren't there a few chances to destroy it on the way?" Lao Li said as he looked at the Gobi Desert full of dust.

"Don't you think it's strange, why does that charm want to stay there even though it can escape from the mountain range?" Ding Cong said as he explored around, "There must be something in the mountain range that it must get, and it is reluctant to leave." ”

Lao Li was even more puzzled: "Since there is something, then we should look for it in the mountains, why do we have to play hide and seek with it?"

"If you know what it's looking for, you can do it. Ding Cong looked at Lao Li and said with a smile: "And didn't you find that it ran directly here after escaping? As soon as I arrived, I realized that something was wrong, and that someone should be sheltering it. ”

Lao Li didn't say anything, just looked at the desolate scenery around him and said with some displeasure: "There are people living in this place where birds don't? ”

"I see that you haven't honestly stayed in any place with beautiful mountains and rivers all these years, why do you live in poor mountains and bad waters?" Ding Cong quipped again: "Oh, I know, poor mountains and bad waters are not only Diao people, but also wild meat, right? Besides, it's about to be overhauled in the fitting period, so why are you still nostalgic for your appetite?"

After hearing this, Lao Li said without shame: "Life in the world must always have a little love, okay, I just like to eat barbecue and it's nothing." That is, there is no wine here, otherwise this small day is also a cool one. ”

Ding Cong said helplessly: "I haven't heard you talk about liking to drink before, if you are not afraid of trouble, I will give you a few recipes for making wild fruit wine, so that you can satisfy your cravings......"

Just as the two were talking, two figures suddenly appeared in the distance, one green and one white, with a graceful posture, floating in the sky and flying in the dust.

When Lao Li saw it, he asked in a low voice, "Is this the White Lady and Xiaoqing?"

"Is there a broken bridge in West Lake here?" Ding Cong said angrily, and then sneered: "But one thing you said is right, they are not people." ”

The two of them were not afraid, and when they got closer, they found that the cyan figure was a woman wearing a green linen shirt, and at this time, the charm was wearing a white cloth shirt, which was also a woman's image, exactly the same as the woman in the green shirt, all of them were graceful and delicate, bright and gorgeous.

The woman in the green shirt took a step forward and nodded lightly at Ding Cong, who felt strange and returned the salute. Lao Li beside him was not interested in them, but when he knew that the main master was coming, he also took a step back cautiously, and was semi-invisible behind Ding Cong.

"I don't know why they are chasing my sister. At this time, Ding Cong and Lao Li both heard the voice of the woman in the green shirt questioning, but they stood opposite each other but did not see how she made the sound.

Lao Li never spoke in such a scene, and Ding Cong came forward to deal with it, and he didn't bother to deal with anyone, after all, it was better to talk and talk directly.

Ding Cong smiled and said, "Did Your Excellency misunderstand? The two of us didn't kill us, otherwise you wouldn't have seen us." By the way, I don't know what to call it yet?"

The woman in the green shirt was slightly angry after hearing this, but she still said politely: "By the burn, my sister is illusory." ”

Ding Cong was a little surprised when he heard this, in his perception, the two people in front of him were obviously not people, and there were not even people living here, how could they talk like this, and there were names? When he asked just now, he just asked casually out of politeness, and he didn't expect an answer at all.

Ding Cong looked at You Zhi again, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Don't be angry when you say it, you are not human, nor are you demons and spirits, similar to ghosts but have entities, and there are not shallow cultivations, I really can't figure it out." ”

You Zhi still didn't open his mouth, but the voice was still crisp and clear into Ding Cong's ears, obviously it was not a sound transmission, just heard her say: "Mr. is very accurate, we are indeed not people, it is inconvenient to talk here, the two of you are guests from afar, can you follow me into the house for a while?"

When she said the word sir, Ding Cong secretly determined that she might really have something to do with that person.

The cave house of the sisters is under the Gobi, built in a huge natural karst cave, there is no door to enter and exit, and you need to walk through the ground. Walking in front with the illusion, Ding Cong and the others followed closely, and it didn't take long for them to cross a flat square and come to a cave gate. You Zhi asked Phantom Burn to prepare some things to entertain the guests, and he took Ding Cong and the two of them slowly into the back, and Phantom Burn was very reluctant to enter the cave to prepare.

After entering the cave, Ding Cong looked around and found that although the construction here was simple, it was very artistic, from the stone tables and stone piers for hospitality to the rock potted plants placed in the center of the entrance hall, everything had a modern and simple style. In particular, there are three steps to enter the foyer, and there are shoe cabinets and shoe racks next to them. Passing through the foyer is a long corridor, and although there is no sunlight in the cave, the sides of the corridor are inlaid with finely polished moon stones every meter or so.

At the end of the corridor is a huge screen, which is made of simple blue sandstone, but is depicted with simple landscape patterns. Bypassing the screen, there is a spacious living room, with smooth walls, rattan sofas and coffee tables in the middle, a fur carpet of beasts on the ground, and decorations arranged randomly all around, and the roof is inlaid with moon stones to make a star chart illuminate the whole living room.

Lao Li kept chattering and amazement all the way, which made You Zhi very satisfied, but when he peeked at Ding Cong, he found that he just glanced at each place, or smiled, or shook his head, so he continued to move forward without care, and he was somewhat confused in his heart.

At this time, Phantom Burn had already prepared tea, a delicate square pot with a handle made of granite and four low square cups, placed in a tray, and the cups were still steaming.

After taking Ding Cong and Lao Li to sit on the rattan sofa, Phantom Burn served tea on the case, and then sat back next to Youburn.

Lao Li stroked the sofa cushion made of burlap wrapped fur, looked at the tea set in front of him, and asked with some surprise: "You still have tea and sofas?"

As soon as these words came out, both Yu Zhi and Phantom Zhi were a little surprised, looking at Lao Li, who was holding a square cup and slowly tasting tea, he was stunned and did not speak.

Lao Li is not good at tea, but after all, he hasn't tasted it for many years, and he tastes tea very carefully at the moment, and the aftertaste of the expression seems to be very enjoyable. Ding Cong looked at Lao Li's appearance and felt very funny, so he also took a sip of the cup, and found that it was actually Pu'er, which was really a little surprised. But if you think about it, you think it should be, and with his rough understanding of that person, as long as he has the ability, he will definitely do his best.

After getting off the teacup, Ding Cong said to Youzhi: "It seems that your master's taste has not changed, where is he now?"

Sister Yu Zhi didn't speak when she heard this, but Lao Li was surprised: "Ding Cong, do you recognize their master?"

Yu Zhi also wanted to know the answer, but Phantom Zhi stared at Lao Li disapprovingly, it may be that the broken arm only hated to make her pay extra attention to this woman, although the broken arm was nothing to her, but the hatred caused by the chase of thousands of miles that she stared at was really unrelieved.

Ding Cong said to Lao Li: "Do you remember when I told you how many people were still alive?"

Lao Li recalled it for a while and exclaimed, "Could it be Lu Jingtian?"

Ding Cong smiled and nodded, and couldn't help but recall the past when he worked at the Shangyuan Ruins Museum. said lightly: "He likes to drink Pu'er the most, and when he is fine, he is still poor and particular, and he wants to save face and suffer ,...... death."

When they mentioned Lu Jingtian's name, Yu Zhi and Phantom Burn felt a tightening in their hearts, and later heard Ding Cong mention his past, although they didn't understand many words, but they also knew that the two people in front of them were very familiar with him.

Yu Zhi was still very calm, but Phantom Zhi couldn't sit still, and got up and pointed at Ding Cong. Ding Cong looked at it inexplicably, and finally couldn't help but look at Youzhi.

You Zhi said indifferently: "It's no wonder that the two of you, my sister is anxious to know his news, so she is so rude." With that, he pulled Phantom back to his side.

Ding Cong didn't see it strange, but he felt strange, their cultivation should be in the early stage of refining the void, no matter how Yu Zhi spoke, but why didn't the illusion burn speak? ”

Phantom was furious when he heard this, but as soon as he stood up, he was pulled back by Yu Zhi, and he could only scream at Ding Cong.

Ding Cong also ignored it, looked at You Zhi and asked, "Don't you know his whereabouts?" I have been looking for him everywhere all these years, but I have found nothing. ”

You Zhi looked at Ding Cong's expression and knew that he was not lying, so he said lightly: "Actually, he can't be regarded as our master, it's almost the same as being the master." ”

Lao Li smiled slightly after hearing this, and mocked: "You can still operate like this, why didn't I think of it in the first place?"

Of course, Ding Cong knew the obscene meaning in his words, and smiled helplessly before letting You Zhi continue.

It turned out that Sedum appeared directly in a settlement after crossing over, and the mysterious fog that suddenly appeared in broad daylight certainly caused panic. After deliberation among the elders of the settlement, they agreed that this was a bad omen, as it happened that someone in the clan gave birth to a pair of baby girls, and they were born together with their backs connected, and the mother also died of blood loss after giving birth to the baby.

At this time, the two sides were confirmed, and the elders felt that this conjoined female baby was a great murderer and must be executed. Then he took the two baby girls to the fog to prepare for the birth sacrifice, but the father of the baby girl could not bear to burn the child to death just after birth, so he told the elder that the child was his and should be executed by his own hands. The elder thought for a while before agreeing, so he handed over the rest of the matter to him, and went to assist the other clansmen in preparing for the relocation of the clan.

The baby's father waited for the elders to leave, brought a lot of firewood, piled three circles around the mist, and dug a pit nearly two meters deep under the mist, before putting the baby girl in. Finally, light a fire outside and burn firewood. Originally, I wanted to wait for the evening to secretly leave the clan and come back to raise the children alone, but I didn't expect that not long after the group left the settlement, heavy rain caused a flash flood and swallowed up the whole clan.

As soon as the fire reached the inner ring, it was extinguished by rain. The newborn baby, who was already fragile, is now dying after being exposed to fire and rain. Lu Jingtian, who was in the fog, looked at what was happening in front of him indifferently, and knew that he had nothing to stop it. And when I first arrived, I didn't know what state I was in at the moment, but when the two baby girls were about to die, I crossed a breath of spiritual qi and let them survive again.

In this way, every few days, Lu Jingtian gave the two baby girls a breath of spiritual energy to extend their lives. It's not that he is kind enough to save the baby girl, but he vaguely feels that there is something wrong with his state, unlike a simple soul body, and if he wants to get out of trouble, he must have external help. Now these two baby girls are the ones he wants to stay, if he finds out that there is a better choice at this time, I believe he will not care about the life or death of the baby girl.
